I just can't believe that I thought that I'd be the one to unite this city while Damien Darhk was trying to kill it.That was arrogant. The same arrogance that made me feel I could be the Green Arrow without descending into darkness. Bottom line, it was foolish.

Oliver

Someone's gotta provide a little optimism Doesn't seem like anyone around here has the headspace to do it.

Curtis

Living in Star City requires a special kind of tenacity. A sane person wouldn't live here.

Curtis

What does a guy have to do to end the world in peace?

Darhk

Darhk: What are you going to do now, Oliver? Stop posturing. We both know you can't do it. You spared the life of the man who killed your own mother.
Arrow: You killed a friend of mine. You killed tens of thousands of innocent people. Slade Wilson and I had a choice. This time I don't.

Fifteen minutes till the end of the world, and you want to spend them with me. I am touched.

Darhk

You thought I was leaving too? Not a chance.

Felicity

They're leaving because of their own personal darkness. I can't help but think that they were infected by mine.

Oliver

Amanda Waller: This was never about expunging your darkness, Mr. Queen. That darkness will always be a part of you.
Oliver: Then what was the point?
Amanda: To show you that sometimes killing is the only path to justice

Well, it looks like it's just the three of us. Team Arrow. The original gangstas.

Felicity

You're at war with two sides of yourself.

Felicity

Thea: You realize you just accused the police department of being corrupt, at the police department gala?
Oliver: I answered a question.
Thea: And you just put blame on the police department instead of taking responsibility for the city’s crimes.
Oliver: You know I’m taking responsibility.
Thea: Yes – the other guy, but as the mayor, it looks like you’re sleepwalking. Okay?

Arrow Quotes

I thought you took that book off your father's dead body. How could he have been so chatty?

Diggle

She was my sister. I couldn't be angry because she was dead. I couldn't grieve because I was so angry, that's what happens when your sister dies while screwing your boyfriend.

Laurel
